11 months old

First off, where has the time gone. My baby will be 1 in just a month!!!! He's becoming quite the toddler!!! He's at such a fun age though!!!! He's walking more and more every day, but still prefers to crawl because it's faster that way. The other day he said clear as a bell "K I T T Y" It was so cute. He's quite the character. It's getting harder and hard to get his picture taken unless he's in a swing or something as he just wants to move. No sitting still anymore. He's still got the most amazing eyes and I hope they stay that way. His hair is getting lighter and lighter. It may turn blond yet!!!! Onto the pictures!!!

Sunday afternoon

Well today after our naps Isaac and I decided to go sit outside for a while and I took a few pictures. It was a bit breezy and that always makes his clogged tear duct run but I have a few good pictures. Nevermind the peaches all over his collar. I tried to get a picture of him by some of our pretty flowers but he was more interested in figuring out what was between his toes and wouldn't look at the camera. Oh well, maybe next time.

Family Photos

Today we all ended up wearing blue so we figured it was a good day for pictures so we had Ross' Mom come over and take some pictures of us sitting on the bench Ross made me for Valentine's Day. Isaac's blue eyes really show up with his blue shirt. Sam really wanted in the pictures too as well as our Mama kitty Lucy. This is about as good as it gets when I'm nearing 8 months pregnant!!! Enjoy!

Happy Half Birthday Isaac!

Today Isaac is 6 months old. Yesterday I was going to get his 6 month pictures taken but he woke up with a bad cold so I decided to try and rig something up myself and get his pictures taken when he's 9 months. I think some of them turned out okay. Even though he's not feeling the best, he sure is a happy baby. Wednesday will mark 180 days since Isaac has been in our home with us. We will be able to start the adoption finalization process. Hopefully we'll get a court date within a month or so. Here's our beautiful boy!!!!

A few pictures

Last night Isaac and Ross were playing on the floor so I tried to get a few pictures. Of course whenever the camera comes out, Isaac quits smiling. It was too cute!!! Today was a nice day outside and after we got home, I decided to put Isaac's coat and hat on and just walk outside. It was a little windy but it was nice just to be outside for a few minutes with him. He is so cute in his camo pants, Pooh coat and John Deere hat!!! See for yourself!!! And I must say he is doing great at sitting, I bet he'll be sitting before he ever gets rolling mastered.

Easter

Isaac had a good 1st Easter. We went to Sunrise Service at 8:00 followed by breakfast at 9:00 and then Worship Service at 10:00. We made it to my parents a little after 12:00. It was a small gathering this year as everyone else had plans, but it was nice. We had a good time with my parents and my brother Chad. We had a lot of good food too, ham, potatoes, rolls, strawberry pretzel salad, snicker salad. Then for dessert we had homemade icecream and brownies topped with hot fudge. Yum!!!!!

Isaac got a couple new toys too so he was happy. Grandma and Grandma Johnson came over in the afternoon to see us since they hadn't seen Isaac in quite a while. They were amazed at how much he has grown. We got Isaac's Easter pictures back from Walmart and they turned out great. I also got a couple Easter snapshots. I'll call them Easter snapshots anyway, we won't tell Isaac that we forgot the camera and took them tonight!!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Well today I am 28 years old. I can't say I feel any older but I am. To be honest it doesn't really feel like my birthday. I got a couple presents from my parents last weekend which was very nice and my Mom made me a chocolate cake with the chocolate frosting recipe my Grandma B always used to make. That was so good. Tonight Ross and I are going out to eat. I'm looking forward to a steak and fries. It's been a while since we've been out, Ross' birthday in December probably. I'm not sure what Ross got me for a present. We didn't exchange Christmas presents this year because our intention was to get a camcorder (haven't gotten it yet). But at any rate I'm not too worried about it because I have the best present in the entire world, my son. I cannot even describe how much that little boy means to me. I've heard other new Moms say it, but I can say it too, I never knew I could love something so little, so much!!!! Isaac will be 3 months old in about 10 days. It's amazing how fast time is flying. I can still remember the day we got the call that his birthmom had chosen us. We have not heard anything from his birthmom but we continue to send her updates and pictures. We have however, heard from his birthdad through email. We really treasure his emails. I plan on holding onto those emails for Isaac someday.
